Ingredients

• 8 pieces Lamb chops
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 head Cauliflower (cut into bite-sized florets)
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1.5 teaspoons Curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 cups Yogurt (optional, for serving)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
• 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ground cumin, turmeric, curry powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss well to ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated with the spices.

Step 3

Spread the spiced cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

Step 4

While the cauliflower is roasting, pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the lamb chops to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more done.

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Serve the lamb chops alongside the roasted curried cauliflower. If desired, garnish with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Add a lemon wedge to each plate for an extra burst of freshness. Enjoy!
